Since my colleague from Texas raises the specter of Social Security by example, I think it is important to reiterate, Mr. Speaker, what transpired here on the Hill today as we take a look at preserving and protecting Social Security for today's seniors and then making that system stronger through innovation and personalization in the days ahead. It brings to mind the fact that, mindful as we are of the time and the few minutes, about 5 minutes that remain, for us to share with the American people tonight Mr. Speaker, it reminds me of the fact that during this recess I will be back in the 6th District of Arizona with town halls talking to seniors about how best to preserve Social Security, how best to preserve that trust fund, and then looking to the baby-boom generation and those of the third millennium, or the Generation Next-Agers, or beyond, to see how best to deal with the problem. I must tell you, Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased about the Social Security task force that we have assembled in the 6th Congressional District of Arizona with people who are very, very interested, who have a stake in this, as today's seniors on today's program, as soon to be seniors, as baby-boomers, and as Generation Nexters, or third millennia children. They are working together to try and take a look at this system. I eagerly await their report and to hear from the people as we return back to listen to our constituents to decide how best to solve problems.
